gizmodo.com — If you're really serious about using the Wii to get into shape, you need to do a bit more than just play Wii Bowling for a half hour every day. You need to want it, and you need to be willing to really feel the burn.These Wii Weights wrap around your wrists to make those backhand swings really count.

Weights or no weights, you're not going to do much of anything bowling unless they're about 20 lbs each.Wii boxing is currently the only game that really has the sustained activity level you can get into for a proper work out, but DDR is (possibly?) coming. 30 minutes of boxing a day, 5 days a week and you'll lose weight as long as you play it like a work out and don't stand there flipping your wrists.

Um, these weights come FREE with cereal up here in Canada. Kellogg's I believe. So why pay for them?

You know what would be awesome...if people just exercised and didn't have to find ways to turn there games into exercise machines.weight on wrist + motion = greater chance of flying remote!

I don't know bout the wrist weights... But I thought I remember reading an article about how ankle weights aren't effective and hurt you in the long run without giving you results...But really... this just made me laugh.

I play Wii Boxing as though I was really doing the boxing...moving around, throwing full punches...I ride 16 miles a day on my bike, and three games of boxing are enough to get me sweating profusely. It makes an excellent addition to my exercise regimen.I can't stand working out in gyms. I have always worked out at home.
